We just returned from our fabulous vacation in Zihuatanejo. The home, and breathtaking views, are as gorgeous as pictured. The house comfortably housed the three couples in our party—the open common areas were great for meals and relaxing, while the bedrooms with their own private bathrooms and balconies offered privacy. The patio and infinity pool are amazing, a wonderful way to start the morning and end each day. To be honest, it was hard to pull ourselves aways from the house and pool each day, they were so nice.
The home is located within a secure gated community, in the hills overlooking the town. It's quiet and peaceful, with stunning views. We even saw whales from the pool! The front gate security was very thorough and helpful with calling for cabs when needed. When returning to the house, they would also guide the cabs with a moto to ensure we found the property each time.
Location-wise, it is a bit removed from the beaches and town, and generally requires short cab-rides to get anywhere. It's about a 25-30 minute, steep walk down to La Ropa Beach. If you have any mobility issues, we do not recommend the walk. A cab to Zihua Centro is ~90 pesos; a cab to La Ropa Beach is ~70 pesos; a cab to Playa Linda in Ixtapa is ~350 pesos; and to the airport is ~450 pesos.
The house is well stocked with linens, beach towels, everything you need in the kitchen, pool noodles, and even some board games. The host and onsite staff were great communicators, very prompt, and always helpful. The refrigerator had a cooling issue one day during our stay, and within 30 minutes Gloria and Denise were there with a mini fridge and ice as well as a repairman to fix the big fridge. They made sure everything was working again as fast as possible that day. Carla, the housekeeper, came every 3 days and was very friendly and thorough.
As other reviews have mentioned, the house is located in a very lush surrounding. With having the accordion doors open most of the time, you do need to be mindful of potential insects coming inside. We did have a few strange insects and two scorpions wander in during the evening when the bugs seemed more active. But, just be mindful and you'll be fine.
Overall, we had a wonderful vacation, and would highly recommend this house to anyone!
